I know Roger has slagged Gilmour plenty of times in the press, but he`s never done it (irreversibly) on record, has he?...Thankfully, he has bigger fish to fry, song-wise.

TDB? Decent enough...but it just aint the Fab 4.

It was my understanding that the title of Roger's Amused to Death record was just such a shot.

Indeed, Dave does not have nearly the neuroses to draw upon for material.

Amused to Death refers to what Roger sees as the impending fate of the human race. There doesn't seem to be anything on ATD that refers in any way to the reunited Floyd.

As for the theme of Division Bell, it's about problems with communicating, and while I think a few of the lyrics do refer to Roger, others refer to Syd, Polly, the end of the Cold War, Rick's emotional condition... just to name a few. It's not a record about or to Roger Waters.
